Need commands for cmd's net program, need access to other LAN members

[shottie]

How can i view information about other pc's on my LAN? i.e. pc name, ip adresses etc.

How can i share/access files remotely without having access to the other pc's?



In the house there are 3 pc's connected to a router, which connects to the internet.
I dont have access to the router or its software (installed on my pc). I can connect to my own pc via the other two using 'Remote Desktop' but no other access to their C:'s.

in command type: nbtstat -a [remote name] or nbtstat -A [IP ADDRESS] to view nodes connected to you in your LAN. to have access to the said Hard drives it'd probably be easiest to get on the two computers and "share" their harddrive ,

Yes i have already tried nbtstat. It gave me details about one pc, how can i find the details for the other pc connected to the network i.e. computer name, domain/workgroup etc. and how do i set up a direct access for shared files all three pc's. I have tried using network wizard but dont know what to put in after address, \\address\???

for the nbtstat reference, http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/nbtstat.mspx?mfr=true

and you must establish a connection to view or transfer anything to any other computer. its common sense. (unless it wireless of course :P)

you can enabled shares on your computer to share with others by right click a folder and just look for "sharing" or something like that.

to connect to someone else's shares, IF THEY ARE ENABLED (and no you cannot enable them without further access) just type \\IP_ADDRESS_HERE\

that will display their shared folders, if any. or look for something called "nbtscan" which scans for open shares and logs them.

youcan also look for somrthing called "xsharez" which scans, and cracks netbios shares.

oh ad to display the shares on your own box type net view or net use i forget which one.

Ok i have a computer name and their shares are enabled, would i:

net use c: \\computer name\shared folder..... Will i need account details, can i log on to guest account etc.

or something else?

Do i need to set up a network connection first?

All of the pc's share an internet connection via LAN with router etc.

note: I still cannot find the 3rd pc using nbtstat.

P.S. oh ad to display the shares on your own box type net view or net use i forget which one.

its 'net share'

probably should not use C: in the drive mapping since C will probably be in use locally. More than likely the guest account is disabled and whether or not you will need a logon name depends on what OS the machines are using. If they use a blank user password (which a lot of people do) especially on the administrator account then all you would have to do is map the share. If the password isnt blank then you will need credentials of some type to access the share. It also depends on whether file and print sharing is enabled. with your nbtstat -A command if you see a name with <20> beside it then that means it is enabled and all you need to do is find the shares. Of course if there is a firewall then thats another story completely because they more than likely would have the netbios ports blocked.

you can type 'net view' in the cmd, a the it will show you the names of the computer that are in the same network that you are in. then you can take the names and use the cmd to send messages to the computer. (i can tell you that too, just let me know if u want me to)

i have tried to access the computers in my LAN, but failed. ig you have windows on your computer, you can find the folder that you need on that computer, then drag-and-drop it on your cmd - in result, the path will be displayed. then when you hit enter, the cmd should 'be' in the folder. but still, i did not manage to make the cmd show me what was in that folder, for example. you can try typing 'start .' when the cmd is in the folder - that should open the folder you are in in a new explorer window. if you type 'start ..', it will open the parent folder in a new window.

you can learn more about the comands available in cmd by typing 'help' i the console - that displays almost all the comands in it. and the cmd is indeed a vcery powerful tool... ;)

good luck :)
